EP 34: The rabbits were a runnin! We follow questions about the 10 commandments. How do Christians relate to them? What are their point in the narrative? What's natural law? What is our understanding of other gods? And more! Questions, comments? email RabbitTrail@obcc.church

The Ten Commandments remind some of being disciplined as a kid and cause some to feel shame because they don’t live up to them (which we don’t). This series aims to give us the right perspective of them, and so change all of our relationships.

Ep 33: Ready to chase some rabbits? We're chasing down a few questions on our past episodes and then looking at the differences in the Matthew and Luke texts on prayer. We end with a conversation about the presence of God and how can God need to be sought. Questions, comments? email RabbitTrail@obcc.church

This series, hopefully, has given you a vision for prayer. In this concluding message we will move beyond just a conversation with God to the greater purpose of prayer: being in His presence.

In the last message we looked at possible answers to our prayer, and one of them was "slow." When you get this answer, don't be discouraged, but prepare to endure.

Episode 31: This week we answer some of your questions about how God answers prayers and one about angels and if they have a gender! Questions, comments? email pastorgreg@obcc.church

Episode 32: Join us as we talk this week about why God might answer, "No", to our prayer for someone to be saved, if babies who die go to hell, and topics from the sermon on Endurance in prayer. Questions, comments? email RabbitTrail@obcc.church

Does God answer all prayers? How do I know He's answered my prayer? How do I know what His answer is? In this message Pastor Greg helps us answer these and other questions about prayer.

Episode 30: We look at listening to God, how he speaks, why people don't think He speaks, how much disobedience until he is stops speaking and even questions about the 1 Samuel texts and being unequally yoked.

Most of us know prayer is supposed to be 2-way communication, but we probably spend more time telling God things than listening to Him. And how exactly do we listen to God? Pastor Greg will help us understand when and how God can speak to us so we can be ready to listen.

Episode 29: Yes the bumper is back. . . oh and Greg too. We are talking about praying about big things and little things, we touch on fasting and does God answer non-Christian's prayers? Questions? Comments? email pastorgreg@obcc.church and mention the RTP.

Our Journey with God Through Prayer is designed to challenge us to go deeper in our relationship with God and one way to do that is to ask God to do something only He can do. We can learn how to do that from more than one example in scripture.
